take me to your cats

[war_itself]

Hi, I'm Laura and I'm a newbie joining with Miss Quill from the Doctor Who universe. She's an alien freedom fighter and she will kick anyone's ass. She is also the last of her species and sort of enslaved to someone back on Earth via a tiny creature in her brain that will kill her if she disobeys the rules, so she pretty much runs on sarcasm and revenge these days. The only thing worthwhile about humanity she's found so far are pictures of cats on the internet and edifying literature.



Speaking of edifying, I've not been in a big game before and will need to learn the ropes. Is there a good place I can ask the obvious stupid questions, like what the numbers in some network post titles mean, and whether it's bad form to reply to an action tag post in prose? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

Anyway I'm really excited to become part of this community and to get Quill into all kinds of shit! She needs friends fellow soldiers so badly.

HI LAURA I am Revu. I've just got this lady here with me who's from this sci-fi/horror series that I've been writing.

As for your questions:

1.) Some players number how many posts their characters have made. It isn't mandatory. I personally do it because it's easier to keep track of!

2.) I personally prefer prose, so sometimes I do respond to action tags in prose format. (The smalltext kinda hurts my eyes if I'm trying to read tags from my phone.)

If you have anything else you're confused about, feel free to ask!

HI REVU. Yay for more sci-fi ladies!

Thanks for the explanations, that helps a lot! I also prefer prose, mostly because I often end up making a lot of words and also because smalltext is harder to read.

Am I correct in assuming Quill can pretty much just pick an empty apartment if she wants, and that supplies are mostly found up for grabs in the shops? Oh and, network threads are visible to everyone unless they're specifically marked private? So more like a big chat group than private texting?

[circumitus]

Haha, I hear you Re: Prose vs. Smalltext. I have bad eyes so trying to read the tiny text stuff can be hard.

You got the right idea about the empty apartments! You can find a list of what's available on the housing page. Supplies are available at shops and the restored residences are all furnished.

And yes, network threads are public unless specified to be private! I also assume that inbox threads are private as well. Or as much as they can be since I think I read that the gods can still see what's going on on the network.

Excellent, I think now I'm all caught up. And thanks for adding me on plurk, new friends woo!

Welcome to the game, Laura! I'm Skai, and I play this psycho nice old man who also happens to know a lot about being a freedom fighter (for all the wrong reasons, but hey).

Looks like questions got answered, but I'm sure anybody here would answer anything else you wanted to ask! We're all friendly here. :3

[war_itself]

Heyyyy fellow freedom fighter! Thanks for the warm welcome. :)

[wormintheglass]

OMG A CANONMATE. Sort of. This is Bianca from the Big Finish audioplay The Wormery and yesss hello welcome!

I haven't watched Class yet because I am a bad fan, I'm so sorry - though she looks delightful and I am excite.

/adds you on plurk

[onlythemonstrous]

/finger guns
also the Doctor is here. a mostly Big Finish audio Doctor, at that.

[wormintheglass]

HOLY SHIT BIANCA MAY IMPLODE

[wormintheglass]

ALSO I should tell you that a couple of months ago when we had the Great City Beautification Bianca covered the city with obscene graffiti in Gallifreyan, disguised as murals of swarms of bees

[onlythemonstrous]

aaaaaaaahahaha omg, that's /excellent/. i can't wait.

[war_itself]

HIII CANONMATE. You guys are severely lacking in Doctor Who around here. And yes I love Big Finish and I remember The Wormery is a great audio but not much beyond that (besides Iris and Six cuddling). So I'm gonna make onlythemonstrous listen to it with me again.

Class is honestly so so good, "grittier" than DW but still so much in the spirit of it. And all the characters are excellent. But Quill is the best, obvs.

[wormintheglass]

The Wormery is the best audio /not biased at all obv

I've been meaning to watch it, I just have long spells of not being able to do anything non-audio so i haven't yet. I liked her just from the publicitypics.

Welcome to the game, Laura! I'm Grimme, I play Nick Valentine from Fallout and the magical nerd OC, and like the above, I'm down to answer any and all questions you might have! A lot of us have been around sizable games for a while and are happy to help you learn the ins and outs. :D

[war_itself]

Hi, thanks for the welcome! It's good to hear everyone's chill and happy to help. I look forward to playing with you all. :)

[fulcra]

alien freedom fighter, you say? very nice.

I'm Dk and I've got this rebel from the Star Wars universe, Ahsoka, here, who sounds like she would be really interesting to bounce off of Quill sometime! I've been out of the Who loop for a few years, but she seems neat. c:

welcome to the game and I hope you settle in nicely!

[war_itself]

Oooh nice, Ahsoka sounds like someone Quill could respect and either get along with well or really terribly, haha. That'll be interesting!

Thank you, I look forward to exploring this place!
